Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is gone. The U.S. Senate confirmed her nomination as Health and Human Services secretary this afternoon 65-31. See, lead pipe lock. Now, this is your problem, madam secretary.

And guess who was one of those 65 votes? Sam Brownback. Ooh, the anti-abortion folks are not going to be happy. 2010 is going to be fun!

Also, Mark Parkinson will be sworn in as Kansas’ next governor at 7 p.m.
